Early Childhood

FIRST STEPS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
The St. Paul Early Learning Center is focused on building a solid foundation for your child. The Center is a place where your child can grow spiritually, academically, physically and socially, all while learning about God’s world around them. Our program is led by caring and experienced educators who are highly trained in early childhood education. You child will explore a variety of academic subjects and also have the opportunity to experience enrichment programs including music, art and technology. Here, our students form life-long friendships built together in Christ.
PRESCHOOL
Here at St. Paul Early Learning Center, we introduce young children to school through a loving and engaging environment. Our dedicated staff and educators create a positive experience, while building each child’s knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ. We value each child and encourage them to reach their highest potential. St. Paul Early Learning Center offers both half-day and full-day programs to children ages 3-5 years old, including Junior Kindergarten.
A PLACE OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
We utilize a caring, multi-sensory approach to learning, based on Michigan's Early Childhood Standards of Quality from the Michigan Department of Education. This curriculum is process-orientated and is based on the premise that children learn best when they are actively involved in experiences to make them meaningful.
A PLACE FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Here at St Paul Early Learning Center, our goal is for each child to develop a relationship with Jesus as their personal Savior and friend. We focus on character development by modeling Christ-like behavior. Children learn about God’s love for them and others through daily Jesus time and weekly school chapel service.
